The demand for the English language is here to stay. So, if you are about to take up an English learning course, you had better not delay it any more. There are two ways in which you can learn English : onsite courses and online courses. Onsite courses are generally handled by reputed language experts who will impart all the necessary skills to students. They hold regular listening, speaking and writing assessments and provide timely feedback that enable students to improve their skills. The onsite environment also provides students with ample opportunities for testing their newly acquired language skills. However, onsite English tutoring courses are very expensive. That is one of the reasons why may people prefer to give these classes a miss. Then, there is also the hassle of finding the time to attend classes regularly. Keep in mind that most people who opt for English tutoring are college students who are still studying or part time employees who want to get a better job. These are busy people who may find it impossible to attend classes regularly. It is the overriding demand for viable alternatives that led to the development of online English tutoring courses. These courses have a number of advantages. Firstly, they are quite inexpensive when compared to their on-site counterparts. They are also very flexible in nature, thus allowing students to follow their studies at a steady pace of their own. In some cases, the online variety is the only mode of learning open… [Read More...]

PRINCETON, NJ–(Marketwire – December 17, 2009) – Thirty years ago this December, an official from Japan’s World Economic Information Service, Mr. Yasuo Kitaoka, approached Educational Testing Service (ETS) about designing an English test that he envisioned would become the international standard for measuring global workplace English. This vision was realized as the TOEIC® Test (Test of English for International Communication™). From a modest start in 1979 with about 3,000 test takers, more than 5 million TOEIC tests were administered in 2009. The TOEIC test is used by over 9,000 businesses and organizations in more than 90 countries worldwide. Kitaoka’s goal was the promotion of global communication through English. He spoke about his vision with ETS, the world-renowned nonprofit test development organization. At the time, ETS was already administering the TOEFL® Test (Test of English as a Foreign Language™) to assess English ability in academic settings. Today, the TOEFL test is taken annually by nearly a million people worldwide wishing to pursue higher education degrees at primarily English-speaking universities. “The task of developing a global workplace English test was a challenging one,” explains Dr. Philip Tabbiner, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, K-12, Business Development, Partnerships and Global. “Once approved, however, the TOEIC test-development project generated much excitement at ETS. While the TOEFL test was developed to measure academic English, the TOEIC test was developed to focus on English-language assessment of individuals for use in the workplace all over the world, particularly in areas where… [Read More...]

With the many sites offering free learning English online courses, you can save yourself the cost of tuition and you don have to move away from home to live in an English-speaking country. The best way to learn English is to immerse yourself in the culture and spend time talking to other people in the language. With the online courses, there is a chat line with whom you can communicate with others just like yourself and with whom you can speak English. Using a chat line also gives you the opportunity to write in English to use the proper grammar and you get practice in reading as well when you read the conversations. Although you won actually speak to others, these forms of communication are just as important. You will also communicate with native English speakers who will give you constructive criticism and help you correct any mistakes you make.   You do have to be motivated to take full advantage of a free online English course. You have to ask yourself why you are taking the course. Your reasons will provide you with the motivation you need.

Learning grammar is perhaps one of the  parts of the course that will cause you difficulty when you learn English language. This is because there are so many rules and exceptions to almost every rule. Spelling English words correctly involves knowing certain rules, such as:   – The letter in a word is always followed by the letter ?   – Use before except after ? This is sometimes confusing because there are many words in the English language that come from other languages and do not adhere to this rule. One such example is the word’s einer?   – Words that end in change the to ?before adding any endiings   – Words that have a silent ?at the end of the word, drop the ?before adding suffixes   English grammar rules apply to both spoken and written English. The verb you use in a sentence must agree with the subject. Some verbs are used for plural subjects and others are singular verbs. For example, you would not say me have to go home now?because he is singular, the correct grammar for this sentence is me has to go home now? When you use any part of the verb be?in a sentence, you rarely use the word ?except when you are speaking in the future or past perfect tenses. You would not say, for example, be going home now? Instead the proper English grammar usage is am going home now?   With all of the courses to help… [Read More...]

Grammar is one of the most essential things you should know when you learn to write proper English. It deals with the forms and structures of words and sentences. You should know the proper usage of such words. The best way to learn English grammar is not by using the dictionary but by using English grammar books. It is best to learn English grammar in school wherein a teacher will really help you everyday but if you do not have the time and money, just make use of English grammar books. Aside from the fact that they are inexpensive compared to going to school, they are very reliable compared to the Internet. First thing you should do is to choose the best book for you. Find the one that is easy for you to read and understand. You can ask for some help from the bookstore assistant.

The short and easy answer is “YES”.

In fact anyone who has graduated from high school and has a good grasp of their own language can make a comfortable living as a freelance trainer in Germany.

However, a little prep work is required in order to avert disaster.

Over the years I’ve seen so many people come full of enthusiasm only to leave in tears a few short months later. I can’t guarantee you success but if you follow the 5 guidelines below then your adjustment will be a lot easier.

1. Learn some basic German.

You don’t have to be a fluent speaker but a few months before your trip you should buy a basic phrase book. “Where is the train station?” “How much is this?” etc.

Make sure it has a phonetic pronunciation guide.

It doesn’t matter if your German is terrible at the start, as long as you make the effort to speak the language then most of the natives will try their best to help you.

DO NOT blurt out “Hey dude, where can a guy get himself a mickey dees and a cold bottle of suds in this town?” Although a lot West Germans had a little English in school most of them have forgotten it. How much high school French or Spanish can you remember!?!

2. Brush up your grammar.

Native speakers use complex grammar structures without thinking what they are called.

Now you need to learn… [Read More...]
